I'll start with last Thursday at taekwondo. I was practicing my new form. I was at the second spin, reverse heel kick. In the middle of the kick, I was thinking this is looking really good. Then, it all went wrong. Oh, so wrong! My foot that was suppose to be planted on the floor went up into the air; I became horizontal then crashed into the floor with my entire body. Oh, the pain. Okay, it didn't hurt. It did knock the wind out of me. By the end of the night my right hip was sore and the next couple of days my shoulder blades and lower back were a bit stiff. I'm fine now, thanks for asking.
Friday, Hank was bad. There was a gold cat (not one of ours) on our back deck. I went out to look around the backyard before letting Hank out and I didn't see the cat. Hank bolted out the back door right to the cat. The cat ran down the backyard and jumped. I thought it jumped over the fence (that is what our cats do), but NOOOOO. This stupid cat jumped up a tree. Then, while Hank was at the bottom of the tree barking at the cat, the cat jumped down. They rolled around with each other for about five seconds then the cat when up another tree. This is when I caught up with them, grabbed Hank and took him inside. It wasn't until late that night we saw his leg was swollen. We hit the scraps, or bites, with peroxide a few different times that night. By Saturday night he was fine. Crazy dog.
Saturday the girls and I drove northward. I went to my Uncle Carroll's funeral with my Mom and the girls entertained Grandpa. They enjoyed seeing the snow/ice that was left there, but really wanted their own snow. lol John went south to visit with his Mom. He saw one of his sisters too.
Sunday we relaxed. I started on my book club book again. They are asking us to turn them in early for other to be able to read them...they are short on this particular book. And since I won't make it that night, I really wanted to turn my in the next time we go to the library. (I finished it this morning.)
Monday was a hectic morning. Rosie went in for her shots. She is now on glucosamine for her knees. I was told when she was a puppy her Boston Terrier side would give her this problem. I'm just glad they make it in treat form so she'll take it. Then I had to take Hank in for a re-check (they called me when I was on my way home) from his visit last summer. Like I said, Monday was hectic.
I had not checked my emails since Saturday morning. Okay, I have not touched a computer at all since Saturday morning. So yesterday I was going through my seventy emails. I found two from the Library. Both girls had entered a drawing into the "Kids in Print" at the Richland County Library back in November. The emails were informing us both girls' drawings were accepted. There will be a reception in a couple of weeks and they don't have rehearsal so they can go. They were both so happy.
Today, it snowed! Okay, it was not even a "dusting" but it did snow. The girls went out this morning and played a bit. They built the tiniest of snowmen. But they had a great time and the dogs did too from what the girls told me.
A note about Chloe. She did not make volunteer of the year, but she was so happy so was nominated.
